Peter

Male · Young · 1 year

Peter is a brave, curious little tomcat who was abandoned with his siblings Carla and Dean on an undeveloped plot of land in Cartagena. Despite this difficult start, Peter has become a true adventurer. He was born around March 2025. He loves to play, climb, and explore every nook and cranny. But just as much as he loves adventure, Peter also adores being close to people: after playing, he enjoys cuddling and fully embraces the affection. His charming nature brings warmth and life to any home. Peter will not be rehomed alone, as he needs a feline friend of a similar age to grow up happily. Alternatively, he would love to bring one of his siblings along: a wonderful double package for any cat lover's heart. Currently, Peter is still in Spain. Once he reaches four months old, he can travel to his new home. For travel arrangements, he will be vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Would you like to be the person by Peter's side as he embarks on his next adventure?

Ich bin ein mutiger, neugieriger kleiner Kater, geboren ca. im März 2025. Gemeinsam mit meinen Geschwistern Carla und Dean wurde ich auf einem unbebauten Grundstück in Cartagena ausgesetzt – kein leichter Start ins Leben. Doch ich habe mir meinen Lebensmut bewahrt und bin zu einem echten kleinen Abenteurer geworden. ❤️ Ich liebe es zu spielen, zu klettern und jede Ecke zu erkunden. Die Welt ist für mich ein großes Abenteuer, das ich neugierig entdecken möchte. Aber genauso sehr liebe ich auch die Nähe zum Menschen: Nach dem Toben komme ich gern kuscheln und genieße Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen. Ich bin ein Kater mit Herz – aktiv, verspielt und gleichzeitig sehr verschmust. Ich möchte nicht alleine aufwachsen, denn ich brauche unbedingt einen Katzenfreund im ähnlichen Alter, mit dem ich spielen und lernen kann. Gerne bringe ich auch einen Katzenkumpel mit. Aktuell lebe ich noch in Spanien. Bei meiner Ausreise bin ich kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt, gechippt und auf FIV und FeLV getestet. Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch ein Mensch, bei dem mein nächstes großes Abenteuer beginnen darf. Bist du das? 🐾❤️

About Peter

What life with Peter looks like

Peter is a large young adult cat waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. in Germany.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Peter, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Peter?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Peter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Peter if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Peter already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Peter isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Peter and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
